General Forestry Standards
This category includes general safety requirements, terminology and definitions and more that are all associated with forestry.
ISO 11850:2011
Machinery for forestry - General safety requirements
ISO 11850:2011 specifies general safety requirements for self-propelled forestry machines and machines configured as forestry machines. It deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events common to fellers, bunchers, delimbers, forwarders, log loaders, skidders, processors, harvesters, mulchers and multi-function versions of these machine types, as defined in ISO 6814, when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
It does not deal with hazards specific to individual machines, such as those related to specific attachments, and therefore its use will not alone be sufficient to address all significant hazards for a majority of the machines it covers.
It does not deal with hazards related to chain shot, chain breakage on the upper side of the bar, lifting operation, remote control operation, the need for work lights or road safety. For vibration measurement, the test setup and work cycles are not dealt with; nor is the verification method for noise measurement addressed. It is not applicable to hazards related to maintenance or repairs carried out by professional service personnel.
ISO 6814:2009
Machinery for forestry - Mobile and self-propelled machinery - Terms, definitions and classification
ISO 6814:2009 defines terms corresponding to, and gives guidance for the classification of, mobile and self-propelled machinery used in forestry and related operations. Both the definitions and the classification have been determined according to the end use of the machines as intended by the manufacturer. The terms and definitions do not cover all possible forestry and related operations or machinery, nor do they describe specific machines, but are given as an aid to nomenclature.
ISO 6814:2009 is applicable to machines designed for use in forestry for site preparation, planting, harvesting, processing, and the transport of wood and wood fibre. It is not applicable to machines designed to be used exclusively in sawmills or wood yards, to on-highway transport vehicles, or to aerial vehicles.
ASAE S327.4 JUL2012 (R2021)
Terminology and Definitions for Application of Crop or Forestry Production and Protection Agents

This document applies to crawler mounted machines such as hydraulic excavators as defined in SAE J1057 and iSO 7135, and knuckle boom log loaders as defined in SAE J1209 and SAE J2055. This document also applies to certain forestry equipment defined in sAE J1209 and ISO 6814 that have crawler mountings such as delimbers, feller bunchers, harvesters, and processors. Included in the definition of hydraulic excavators are also front shovel, clamshell, and telescoping boom excavators.
The purpose of this document is to establish a consistent, repeatable means of determining and specifying the travel performance for the types of equipment contained therein.
ISO 18564:2016
Machinery for forestry - Noise test code
ISO 18564:2016 specifies all the information necessary for carrying out efficiently and under standardised conditions the noise emission values of self-propelled forestry machinery. It is applicable to fellers, bunchers, delimbers, forwarders, log loaders, skidders, processors, harvesters, mulchers and multi-function versions of these machine types, as defined in ISO 6814.
Noise emission characteristics include A-weighted emission sound pressure values at the operator's station and the A-weighted sound power value. The determination of these quantities is necessary for the following:
- manufacturers to declare the noise emitted;
- comparing the noise emitted by machines in the family concerned;
- purposes of noise control at the source at the design stage.
NOTE For low-noise design, noise emission values in frequency bands are useful and the basic International Standards ISO 3744 and ISO 11201 can be used for determining noise emission quantities in frequency bands.
ISO 3600:2015
Tractors, machinery for agriculture and forestry, powered lawn and garden equipment - Operators manuals - Content and format
ISO 3600:2015 specifies the content and gives guidance on the format of operator's manuals for tractors, machinery for agriculture and forestry, and powered lawn and garden equipment. It is intended to assist manufacturers of the machinery in the drafting and presentation of these manuals. Manuals intended for use by a service technician are not within the scope of this International Standard.
ISO 3767-1:2016

Lift Capacity Calculation Method Knuckle-Boom Log Loaders and Certain Forestry Equipment
This SAE Standard provides a uniform method to calculate the lift capacity of knuckle-boom log loaders and certain forestry equipment. It establishes definitions and specifies machine conditions for calculations. This document applies to knuckle-boom log loaders as defined in ISO 6814 and ISO 17591 and certain forestry equipment defined in ISO 6814 that have a rotating upper-structure such as feller bunchers, forwarders, harvesters, and behind the cab or rear-mounted knuckle-boom log loaders not having their own power supply. It does not apply to harvesters that are incapable of lifting a tree or log completely off the ground. This document applies to those machines that are crawler, rubber-tired, and pedestal or stationary mounted.
SAE J 873-2011 (SAE J873-2011)
Drag Force Test Procedure for Construction, Forestry, and Industrial Machines ( Noncurrent: May 2007 )
This document has been declared 'Stabilized' and will no longer be subjected to periodic reviews for currency. Users are responsible for verifying references and continued suitability or technical requirements. New technology may exist. The rationale for moving SAE J 873 to a Noncurrent status is that we are not aware that this standard is being used in industry today and no experts exist to maintain this document. This SAE Standard establishes a test method to measure drag force of self- propelled, as well as towed, construction, forestry, and industrial machines, with or without payload, as listed in SAE J/ISO 6165 and SAE J 1116. Drag force is measured as a function of travel speed.
